The AUD/USD pair is trading around 0.6220 in the early Asian session on Monday. However, the potential upside of the pair may be limited as the market continues to digest the US Federal Reserve’s hawkish pivot. The Fed cut its benchmark interest rate by a quarter point at the December meeting, with expectations of two rate cuts next year. Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated that officials will be cautious about further cuts, which could support the US Dollar and act as a headwind for the AUD/USD pair in the near term. Additionally, expectations of tax cuts, tariffs, and deregulation by the incoming administration might impact inflation and influence the Fed’s future decisions.

On the other hand, the Reserve Bank of Australia’s dovish expectations are likely to weigh on the Australian Dollar. The RBA’s December meeting minutes indicated policymakers are confident that inflationary pressures are easing as anticipated. Traders have priced in a 65% chance of a 25 bps rate cut at the February meeting, with expectations of a cut by April. This dovish sentiment could drag the Aussie lower against the USD in the coming weeks. Factors such as interest rates set by the RBA, the health of the Chinese economy, and the price of Iron Ore, Australia’s largest export, all play a role in influencing the value of the Australian Dollar.

Interest rates set by the RBA impact the AUD by influencing the level of interest rates in the economy. The RBA aims to maintain a stable inflation rate of 2-3% by adjusting interest rates accordingly. Higher interest rates compared to other major central banks are positive for the AUD, while lower rates have the opposite effect. China’s economic health is crucial for Australia’s economy, as China is its largest trading partner. Positive or negative surprises in Chinese growth data can directly impact the Australian Dollar and its pairs. The price of Iron Ore, Australia’s primary export, also plays a significant role in determining the value of the AUD. Higher Iron Ore prices typically lead to an increase in the value of the Australian Dollar, as demand for the currency rises.

Additionally, the Trade Balance, which represents the difference between a country’s exports and imports, can influence the value of the Australian Dollar. A positive Trade Balance, where a country earns more from exports than it spends on imports, strengthens the currency. On the other hand, a negative Trade Balance can weaken the currency. Factors such as market sentiment, inflation in Australia, its growth rate, and trade balance also play a role in determining the value of the Australian Dollar. As investors continue to monitor central bank policies and economic data releases, the AUD/USD pair may experience volatility in the coming weeks.
